It seems to me you should be able to recover the cash from the casino if you can prove the guy was gambling with stolen cash.

Its pretty hard to believe the casinos didn’t suspect something. Sounds like he was a small time regular who suddenly went high roller after visiting the ATM.

I don’t think so. With most things, a thief cannot pass good title to a third party, even if the third party is acting in good faith. Money appears to be one of a few exception. The gambling establishment, as long as it acts in good faith, probably has good title to the money. And the bank, if it can’t get restitution from a judgment-proof thief, will probably be looking to get whole via insurance.

Agreed. Couldn't the authorities claim the Casino(s) were guilty of receiving stolen property?
